Without the villains there is no need for a hero so does a villains first appearance hold more weight I thank so!!Your guys opinion much appreciated!

There are cycles in collecting and there will be a few years that villains are a big deal and a few years where they're not, then it will repeat.

The biggest villain is probably the Joker, and the Joker first appeared in Batman #1, but he wasn't on the cover.

I think that Batman #1 would still be a really big book even if it wasn't the first appearance of Joker, but can you imagine if the Joker was featured earlier on the cover of a book like Detective Comics #30 instead of the worthless welding world-changing wannabe?

Also first Catwoman in Batman 1.

Two classic characters in one Golden Age key.

It depends on a case-by-case basis.

Doctor Doom will always be better than Shang-Chi.

But Shang-Chi will be better than Death Dealer

A villain and a classic cover are always a good combination!

The villain has gotta do more than get their kicked every month to have hero level notoriety
